Hi Rob,

I haven't had a chance to look at the comparison but I agree the noise  
isn't normal AT3032 even from my rig.

A week earlier I was recording well before dawn at Gunabooka and there  
are a few stretches of silence.  I've edited out a couple of seconds.  
The original file is at 88.2khz/24bit.
